This guy game me a potion on the way out. Thanks, guy. When I use this potion I'll be sure to think of you.

Oh, they added little signs to tell you where you are in this version. Cool!

Could be like... in a minute... or two minutes...

OR A FEW STEPS AWAY

I didn't capture it here but the pokemon in this game have little animations when they show up. This was the first time they did that. They would then go on to do it in Emerald and Platinum before finally making it a regular thing with Black and White. :teach:

Go! ODDISH!

...

...

I'm sorry, everyone. I dun goofed. I can explain though! See...

Back here, I thought I was being given the wrong pokemon because of the picture. It said CHIKORITA but it had a picture of ODDISH? So I thought I'd correct the game's mistake. I'm sorry, everyone.

Back to this battle... it was kind of rough. The rattata was fierce! I have a secret comeback plan though.

Take that, guy who gave me the potion!

No it can't...

Not this shit again, oh no!

It's a while before I'll be doing that, buddy!

Protip: every few hours, set your clock back to the beginning of the night cycle so this guy has to wait forever and eventually dies of starvation. You've killed man with the power of time! Are you proud of yourself, murderer?

HI, BERRY!

Guess ODDISH can have her berry back.

This guy actually lets you say no to him! If you say yes he drags you around town and tells you things you already know.

It's free but it's closely monitored ever since the day some smartass set the wallpaper to goatse.

After the game decides it's alright for me to have more pokemon than my starter. :holyshit:

Pokemon Crystal the Imagefest part twoWherein Daisy makes an ass out of herself.

(04:47:02) (@KennyMan666) Whelp I'll do this in the morn'

And as we can see, it's clearly MORN now.

This is what Soap left us off with!

This is where Soap left us off!

I quickly realize I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, but left looks like a good suggestion.

Route 29, always a solid choice.

I missed to screenshot it but this guy goes !

"How many :pokemon: have you caught? Would you like me to show you how to catch :pokemon:?"Yes> No"Oh. Fine, then. Anyway, if you want to catch :pokemon:, you have to walk a lot."

Thanks for the advice! We totally already know how to catch :pokemon:, as you will see in this update, so I told him to fuck off!

I have not traveled far before my first random encounter! What is it? What will we battle?

...wait...

Oh my god. Oh my god yes.

I know what to do.

Two tackles from ODDISH later, this is a perfect situation.

Go!

C'mon c'mon c'mon...

Yes! Our first :pokemon:!

Thank you, Pokedex!

Yes. A thousand times yes.

The only choice.

Jumping off ledges is fun!

Too bad it's not emo so it would be already gone by now!

Oh fuck you ledge.

We'll have to go around.

And through some grass!

Oh hey! It's a... it's a...

Fuckin' Pidgey.

Boring story short, one razor leaf.

Why me?

This is relevant to my interests.

...the basket or else Daisy gets the hose again.

The route is pretty uneventful, and then I found a house.

Noone in the house really says anything of any value.

The fourth wall is weak with this one. I kill a Pidgey on the way.

Fuck off, BERRY.

Oh look, a city!

Let's stock up a little.

This guy might possibly be important later.

Especially the Krem badge.

I'm straight, and I don't like insinuations that I'm not straight. It's easy to say "not that there's anything wrong with that", but for me, I'm straight, so there is something wrong with me being gay, that being that I'm not gay. I'm proud of being straight and the idea of being gay goes against my biological wiring.

I honestly find it improbable that you ever won anything in your entire life.

'kay

...the abyss will stare back at you.

You're not Weedle, therefore you die.

Yay!

Goddamnit.

More of this guy in the next post!

It sure is a cave. And dark. And I'm sure there's a million fucking Zubats in there and I really don't feel like dealing with that.

Free stuff!

"I walked too far today looking for Pokemon. My feet hurt and I'm sleepy... If I were a wild Pokemon, I'd be easy to catch... ...Zzzz..."Are you really sure you're not a Snorlax?

Fuck off, BITTER BERRY.

Oh joy.

...oh, yeah, they're not healed yet. ODDISH, my trust is in you!

This guy actually has four Pokemon! How will this go?

Two level 2 Caterpies fall like they're nothing.

But then!

Oh god ow ow ow

OW OW OW

Phew!

I'm legitimately glad he didn't have two Weedles.

Yay!

Next time you should maybe not have three level 2 Caterpies in your team!

All better.

Oh, hey, nice.

Lots of grass!

Fuck off.

I think we've reached the end of the route!

How the fuck would I have done that when I entered from the east and Sprout Tower is to the west?

First stop in Violet City!

Alright, now to figure out what to do.

Pff, I'm a Pokemon expert already.

This looks relevant to our interests.

I decide to give it a shot! After all, I have three Pokemon!

And this guy only has one! How bad could it be?

...oh fuck fuck fuck

Fuck fuck fuck

Despite working with the worst starter I somehow get through that but dear gods I'll have to do a tactical retreat for now.

Thanks, Joy!

Oh for fuck's sake.

"Yo, DAISY! How're you doing? This is JOEY, got a minute?"(No)"How are your Pokemon doing? My RATTATA's raring to go, just like always. It's the only one I have. I'm going to become a great trainer with it!"(Yeah sure)"Oh yeah, I saw a wild LEDYBA! I thought about going for it, but I decided to work with my one-and-only right to the extreme end."(What does that even mean)"All right. Later!"

I let him get my phone number why?

Okay, let's see. I'm too weak to take down a Flying-type gym right now. Flying is strong against Grass.

Hmm.

A plan is formed. It requires a Bellsprout.

And I thought I knew just where to find one.

You're also not a Bellsprout! It was then I figured out there's no actual wild Bellsprouts in Sprout Tower. Oops!

But I learned where to find them!

You're not a Bellsprout.

You're not a Bellsprout, but you'r a funny-looking little thing.

He does this like three times.

But in the end, it goes home with me.

Right!

It's a red round thing! Not angry enough, though.

This is what we'll go with.

We draw ever closer to :furretavatar:.

A few stupid encounters later, this happens! Finally!

Alright, let's just-

Oh ow ow ow potion time

Much better!

Heart of the cards! Can't kill it!

Perfect!

We actually don't care about this.

I have a good reason for this.

What now?

Fuck off, Joey.

He's ready to battle at route 30, though, if anyone wants to take him up on that.

Well, I think this post is running long now. Should be just one more post!

And remember that you can't change the nickname of traded Pokemon :evil:

Sure.

Bye!

Excellent!

A level 5 Onix named ROCKY holding a bitter berry. This guy will be key!

So we head back.

Oh no reality is breaking down

Damn straight it isn't, motherfucker

Traded Pokemon get boosted EXP gain. This allows ROCKY to go to level 6 from a single level 7 Pidgey!

See?

However, I find that level 5 is not enough. I am not ready for Falkner yet.

Let's go heal, and let's go train.

:!!!: :!!!: :!!!:

WHAT DO WE FIND IF NOT ANOTHER WEEDLE

Oh god, this is bad. Another tackle and it's going to die.

I try anyway.

I try again, and somehow I have no screenshots of me throwing like 5 balls at it but it breaking free all the time.

Likewise, I seem to have no screenshots of the Bellsprout that vine whipped Rocky to death.

Oh my god.

We get a better health to try with... and... and...

GENTLEMEN.

Like we here at The Daily POS doesn't already know everything about !

Naturally.

We have a full team now, but we're not ready yet!

A short training montage later, ROCKY grows to level 9 and...

...doesn't learn Rock Throw.

Because I was looking at the Generation V moveset table.

Goddamnit, Kenny, why are you such an idiot.

I decide to fucking go for it anyway. A full team, with a rock-type and a level 12 Chikorita with Razor Leaf, what could go wrong?(he says, knowing full well two grass-types and a bug-type, as well as two severely under-leveled normal types, are enough cause to worry)

"People say you can clip flying-type Pokemon's wings with a jolt of electricity... I won't allow such insults to bird Pokemon! I'll show you the real power of the magnificent bird Pokemon!"

I put ODDISH in front to just kind of smash the Pidgey, and save ROCKY's HP.

Not sure what I was worried about, it went down easily. And level!

I wasn't worried at this point.

There's a screenshot or two missing here. I really thought I had taken them. I switched in ROCKY. Pidgeotto started mudslapping me, which wasn't only super effective, but lowered accuracy. Got hits in. Switched in Oddish. Got smacked around. Switched in BIOSPARK to meatshield.

That went poorly.

Switched in SOAPRMAN just so I could throw a potion to ODDISH.

I'm sorry, Soap! It'll never happen again!

At this point, ROCKY's accuracy has been destroyed to the point where he's not worth using anymore. Razor Leaf might not be very effective, but it deals damage and seemed to have a high chance to hit even with lowered accuracy.

Some healing and praying later, I emerge victorious.

In retrospect, I should have done Sprout Tower instead of the gym to build levels. Oops!

"...Darn! My dad's cherished bird Pokemon... All right. Take this. It's the official POKEMON LEAGUE ZEPHYRBADGE."

get! Raises attack power, lets us use FLASH, etc.

We also get TM31!

Maybe something we can use!

I was planning on ending the update right after stepping outside the gym, but then I get a phonecall! And it's not that silly Joey this time!

Maybe I could...

...but maybe I could leave that to the next person! Good god I promise that my future parts will be much much much shorter. Sorry for this being so long.
